| Injection Molding |
Injection molding is a repetitive process in which plastic is melted or plasticated, and injected into a mold. With thermoplastics the mold is kept at a temperature below the solidifying point of the plastic, causing the injected polymer to freeze, thus forming the article. After cooling, the mold opens and the article is ejected. |
